The Police Force was formed in January, 1836, and re-organised in August,
1853; and in addition to the officers above given, there are 71 Police
Constables.
Its jurisdiction extends over an area of 10½ square miles, with a
population of 70,000 souls. The annual expenditure is about £4,000,
including pensions.
City Fire Brigade.
_Superintendent_—Stephen English, Esq.
_Central Office_—Guildhall.
_Inspectors_—Edward Peck and Stephen Amiss.
This establishment was organised in August, 1853; and in addition to the
officers, is composed and manned by eighty Police Officers, who are
regularly trained and drilled. Three Engines, six Hose Reels, three Fire
Escapes, seven Fire Annihilators, Jumping Cloths, and other appliances
for extinguishing fires and saving life, are kept ready for instant use.
Upon an alarm of fire at the Guildhall, the police throughout the city
receive instantaneous notice thereof by means of signal rockets.
The city is supplied with water on the high pressure system, and fires
can be extinguished without the aid of an engine. By means of Hose
Reels, the power of a hundred engines can be brought to bear upon any
premises on fire.
Mr. English, the present Superintendent, has received several honorary
rewards for his intrepidity and exertions in the performance of his duty.
A portable Fire Escape lately invented by Mr. English, and exhibited in
London, is highly spoken of and approved by several scientific gentlemen.
It consists of two cross bars with pulleys, three coils of rope with
spring-hooks attached, and a leather belt, by means of which persons may
be rescued in case of fire, in an expeditious and simple manner. The
advantages of this escape, before all others hitherto invented, are, that
you can rescue the inmates from the adjoining houses without passing
through the fire—its simplicity, cheapness, portability, and safety. It
can also be used up narrow courts and passages, and at the rear of
houses, a desideratum which the London escapes do not possess.
Norwich Union Fire Brigade.
_Superintendent_—Stephen English, Esq., Guildhall
_Inspectors_—William Barnard and John Hayhow.
_Reserve_—John Flaxman and James Melvin.
This establishment was reorganised in November, 1854, and placed under
the management of the Police.
Two Fire Engines are kept perfectly ready to act on any emergency in town
or country. The engines are of the first class, constructed upon the
most approved scientific principles, and adapted for rapid travelling
into the country.
A Fire Engine upon a new principle has lately been added to the
establishment, at a cost of four hundred guineas. It has two 6-in. and
two 7-in. cylinders, each worked at an 8-in. stroke, and the machinery so
arranged that by simply moving a lever it can be worked as a 6-in.
engine, or as a 7-in. engine, or the two can be worked together, and is
then more powerful than a 9-in. engine, and throws an inch jet of water
120 feet high, and smaller jets proportionally higher. The advantage of
this arrangement being three sizes of Fire Engines to suit the available
quantity of water, or number of men. The suction has an air-vessel or
reservoir, as in the American engines, a new feature in the construction
of engines in this country.
Norwich Equitable Fire Brigade.
_Superintendent_—Stephen English, Esq., Guildhall.
_Inspectors_—William Curtis and John Ireland.
This establishment was organised in January, 1855, and placed under the
management of the Police.
In addition to this admirable and efficient establishment, Hose Reels are
kept at the undermentioned premises ready for immediate use, and
available to the police day or night—St. Edmund’s Factory, Fishgate
Street. Middleton and Ainsworth’s Factory, Calvert Street. Sultzer’s
Factory, St. Augustine’s Street. Pockthorpe Brewery, Barrack Street.
